Should I skip some notes

Does it lower your rock meter more if you don't try to play a note, or if you try and miss it? I'm having problems on CFH on expert and I skip some notes and I seem to go further, but I'm not sure if it is luck or if I should skip them to get through the song.

I'm stuck on the same song, and I've noticed this too... maybe it is better to not attempt some of the difficult parts that you know you will mess up? What I usually do when I get lost is I look ahead a few notes to an easier part, and then I wait for it. I find that way I can get back on track quicker than if I try to keep playing the hard notes.

I think what happens, is if you go for a note and hit the wrong one, you get penalized for missing the note, and then again for hitting a note that you shouldn't. If you just don't try, you only get penalized for missing the note.

Yeah, I finally beat it and I was only trying to do parts of the solo instead of the whole thing. Only got 69% notes hit lol. Thanks for the advice.

I'll give that a try tonight too, hopefully it will get me through the song at last!

EDIT: Hey TGro, check out my post under Rivalries.

When I was set on passing it I actually ignored the Orange in the repetative riff that came there and again and that is the only way I was able to pass to pass it for quite a while. So it is definately a strategy to shoot for if you are just bound on passing the song itself.

As for how it effects your meter, I think it effects it less if you just ignore some notes because for me, reaching for that orange note was out of the question and screwed up my finger placement for the same notes to come up and a again. That was just how it worked out for me though.
